It would certainly be nice to have hasAttributeNS and removeAttributeNS
both, but it's really too late for this version - sorry.
For this version, it is the same (for all intents and purposes) to 
setting the attribute to the empty string, given the absence of 
hasAttribute.

Thank you for your thorough review.  Please let us know shortly if  
this does not address your concerns.
